In this episode, we will be looking at inclusive play through the lens of parents with young children with disabilities. We will be talking with Allison Galloway, a registered nurse and mother of two children with visual impairments, Michelle Farrell, a former Olympian and mother of a daughter with a disability and strong accessible play advocate, and with Natalie MacKay, the founder of Unlimited Play, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that helps to plan, design and build fully accessible playgrounds that allow all children to play, and the mother of a son who suffers from a rare genetic central nervous system disease.

Learn about the challenges that Allison, Michelle and Natalie have encountered in terms of raising their differently-abled children in a world that doesn’t always take their needs into consideration, and the ways that they’ve managed to overcome the challenges and thrive in spite of them.
